The director of flight ops has never flown a commercial flight and used to work in Coca Cola HK, now she's saying she knows the work of a CX pilot. Like how is any of the board member convincing enough to be leaders to the staff when they are so out of touch with their employees and are so shameless about lying?
Oh, and they have no responsibility and no one got fired/ resigned for poor planning, marketing, pricing or fuel hedging...

Choosing SWIRE people worked well for 70 years...
I do not think Swire is the issue, they have a far better track record of running an airline profitably than MOST Experience airline execs...
They just have to learn to adapt to the market
the last 5 years, the current batch directors have no skin in the game- sometimes this happens. They should not have let Tony Tyler leave- he was probably the last ambitious CEO
